Oakland Raiders WR Amari Cooper battled an assortment of injuries all season, quarterback Derek Carr told Sirius XM Radio on Friday, Feb. 16.
"He would never say it to you, but I'll say it to you to have his back. That man was out there giving anything he could and, honestly, a lot of guys probably wouldn't have played with what he had,' Carr said.

Fantasy Tip: This should not come as a surprise, as he began the season with a leg/knee injury before dealing with an ankle issue and concussion late. Cooper played so far below the standard he set in his first two seasons that injuries almost had to play a major role in his disappointing season. Especially with Jon Gruden calling the shots on offense now, Cooper is a prime rebound candidate in 2018.

Oakland Raiders PK Sebastian Janikowski does not plan on retiring once he officially becomes a free agent. Janikowski just finished the final year of his contract with Oakland and will turn 40 years old next month.

Oakland Raiders head coach Jon Gruden said that he doesn't know if RB Marshawn Lynch will be on the roster in the upcoming season, but added that "right now, he's our leading ball-carrier, he's our back, and we're counting on him." Gruden also mentioned: "Hopefully we get an opportunity to work together."

Fantasy Tip: Lynch is going to be entering his age-32 season in 2018, but he showed this past year that he can still be an effective and durable tailback. Playing in all but one game in his first campaign with the Raiders, Lynch tallied 891 yards on 207 carries -- good for a 4.3 yards-per-carry mark -- and logged seven touchdowns on the ground. He'll be an RB2 if his situation remains the same.

Fantasy Tip: Tavecchio played well this season after joining the Raiders and will be the leading candidate for the job next season. He has the chance to be a low-end No. 1 kicker in deeper fantasy leagues.

Fantasy Tip: Janikowski missed most of the 2017 season because an injury but should be able to find a new team this offseason. He probably would be considered a low-end No. 1 kicker in deeper leagues if he signs with another team.

Fantasy Tip: Lynch finished this season with 891 yards and seven touchdowns and could be the starting running back next season. He can be considered a low-end No. 2 running back or a No. 3 back in standard leagues next season.
